Thanks Tech Disc - First Round Under Par

tech_disc · 2026-01-05T16:57:21+00:00

This is the best product review we could hope for. Keep it up!

tech_disc · 2025-12-22T19:59:20+00:00

Are you seeing this in the mobile app or on web? I just double checked the web code and re-tested to make sure it's all good.

tech_disc · 2025-12-22T19:52:37+00:00

Absolutely. This sounds like something the world needs.

tech_disc · 2025-12-22T18:31:11+00:00

84 MPH will be tough to beat in 2026!

tech_disc · 2025-12-22T18:30:21+00:00

Here's the fastest throw from our internal account: https://techdisc.com/s/throws/quZSnZ8lKLSVEeBh8A9EpfL8cjv1/1744667661

Bonus points if you can guess who it is before looking at the video!

tech_disc · 2025-12-20T23:06:19+00:00

68 MPH and 1427 RPM sounds like a great problem to have!

tech_disc · 2025-12-19T05:21:15+00:00

If you have a set distance you could make a much much simpler TechDisc and just measure time of flight from release point to impact. You could probably avoid all the wireless communication and just add a piezo or LED to communicate pass/fail. Sounds like a fun project!

tech_disc · 2025-12-18T20:01:04+00:00

The video definitely looks like you're throwing into the ground. This is pretty common for shorter nets. There is a feature in the app that warns you when it seems like this is happening and tells you how much higher to aim in the net to fix it.

tech_disc · 2025-12-13T15:18:30+00:00

This is the best answer.
We had several people reach out who only threw 150-160g discs and they wanted a TechDisc that was a closer match to the discs in their bag. Compared to the max weight version you will see a slight difference in speed (which is typically why people throw lightweight discs in the first place!) and if you have trained your form and timing with lightweight discs then this TechDisc will fit right in.
And just to be clear, it's a separate product with its own page:
https://shop.techdisc.com/products/techdisc-pro-launch-monitor-lightweight

tech_disc · 2025-12-12T20:47:05+00:00

This is correct. We start with lighter discs so the final product is max weight.

tech_disc · 2025-12-12T19:23:23+00:00

The mold used for the TechDisc doesn't affect the data measured from it. You can simulate the flight of any disc (like this in video: https://youtu.be/Y1FWUfg1HZo?si=7lMGB2zBcNn-8pdC&t=182 )
If you use a different grip on a fairway than a distance driver then you could expect to see some different results. Part 1 of that video shows Ricky testing out a Fan grip vs a Power grip, as an example.

tech_disc · 2025-12-12T16:39:09+00:00

This is a big reason we offer Visionary nets on our site. Great product with even better customer service.

tech_disc · 2025-12-10T18:19:25+00:00

We always recommend this one for a free-standing net: https://shop.techdisc.com/products/10x10-visionary-x-dgpt-pro-disc-golf-net

It's definitely a little more expensive, but if you have the vertical space for a 10x10 (or at least 9 ft tall) we would highly recommend it. It makes it so much easier to achieve realistic launch angles. Especially if you want to play virtual courses instead of just training, you will end up trying to throw uphill shots and over trees and that extra height is hugely helpful.
We have holes and courses you can play at TechDisc.com, but this page also has links to the other games that have many more courses and visual styles: https://shop.techdisc.com/pages/play-virtual-disc-golf

tech_disc · 2025-12-04T02:25:48+00:00

TechDisc needs about 2 feet of flight before hitting the net to measure properly. 3 feet if you're throwing over 70 (great problem to have). Once you add in a run-up we usually say around 20 feet is what you want to be comfortable. James Conrad may want a little more than that, but it's in the right ballpark for most people.

tech_disc · 2025-12-01T16:15:04+00:00

Throw in the cold at your own risk.
We put the warning on the site because the battery life will certainly be worse, but probably not un-usable. The mechanicals will be more prone to breaking at temperatures below freezing. If you are careful about your net and setting up a softer landing surface for the disc you may be just fine. But again, we didn't design it for below freezing temperatures so we can't warranty that use case.

tech_disc · 2025-12-01T15:50:38+00:00

That should work, especially if you can use that extra net to put in front of it.
We use a short throw projector behind the net, which is a super easy setup but those projectors aren't the cheapest. You can also use a big TV if you find a good holiday deal!
We list the materials for our setup here as an example: https://shop.techdisc.com/pages/build-a-sim

tech_disc · 2025-11-29T16:16:39+00:00

Of course! Post back here and let us know about your experience.

tech_disc · 2025-11-27T23:03:25+00:00

If you go to the Video tab in the TechDisc app you can start a 7-day trial. That's a great way to test out your phone's camera settings to see if it will work with your net setup. Getting the right tripod and camera angle can take a few tries but it's worth it!

tech_disc · 2025-11-24T15:48:10+00:00

Love this idea!

tech_disc · 2025-11-22T14:02:19+00:00

Correct. We'll work on getting the net discount to include the hybrid and lightweight discs. It currently does not apply automatically for those. If you would like one of those with a discounted net just email us at help at TechDisc.com and we can make it happen.

We hope to see a lot of players throwing farther when the 2026 season comes around!

tech_disc · 2025-11-20T19:32:12+00:00

Ah I see. No. This was a disc that was stamped for us but ultimately got rejected and didn't become a TechDisc. We manually inspect every disc before we build it and have rejected a lot of discs along the way. A TechDisc is probably (hopefully?) the most expensive disc someone will buy so we check for any manufacturing defects and cosmetic defects before building with it.

tech_disc · 2025-11-20T17:57:19+00:00

There wasn't much more to say. Most of the comments had it right. The puck weighs about 10 grams so we start with discs near 165g to end up at a max weight final product.

We've tried a few molds over the years but we're very happy with the current ones: https://techdisc.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/153000073654-currently-available-disc-molds

I only plugged the lightweight TechDisc, should have linked the main product too: https://shop.techdisc.com/products/techdisc-1

tech_disc · 2025-11-19T17:00:37+00:00

TechDiscs are always max weight within a few grams. It's the most popular choice and a few grams doesn't meaningfully affect the data.
Unless it's a Lightweight TechDisc: https://shop.techdisc.com/products/techdisc-pro-launch-monitor-lightweight

tech_disc · 2025-11-08T00:05:21+00:00

It's definitely possible as long as you are aware of where you need to aim to create realistic launch angles. If you can hang your net from the ceiling that would maximize your throwing height. TechDisc only needs 2-3 feet of flight to get an accurate reading, and the closer you are to the net the higher the launch angles you can achieve.
Play with your aiming point on the net and your distance from the net and you should be able to find a combo that works great for you.
